I have stopped once in my own neighbourhood to yell at a lady who backed out of her driveway without looking and almost ran me over. Man, I was pissed.
But I agree with the prevailing sentiment around here that it's best to just shrug it off and carry on. It's not worth the time/effort/aggravation to confront them. Some situations are unavoidable, but if you ride with your eyes open and are aware of your surroundings you can probably anticipate trouble spots.
As for chasing down drivers, I suppose in a busy downtown area it's possible with all those traffic lights. But here in the suburbs it's not. Lights are too far apart and I'm not about to empty the tank chasing down a stupid driver.
